Abstract: Insurance is one of the important economic functions of marriage. In an intra-household strategic perspective, this article sheds a new light on the labor supply of married women. The household life cycle model under uncertainty predicts that a shock on a breadwinner?s earnings has a positive impact on his spouse?s labor supply. This article relies on plant closure information to test for the added worker effect in Argentina using a difference-in-difference matching estimator. Strategic motives account for 12.5% of the overall increase in female labor market participation. A woman is 13 percentage points more likely to enter the labor market if her husband looses his job unexpectedly. Participation at the intensive margin is unchanged.
